勞倫斯•詹姆斯
英國著名曆史學傢和作傢,畢業於牛津大學學術實力最強的學院——莫頓學院。繼教師生涯之後,詹姆斯決定與1985年成為一名全職作傢,並齣版瞭一係列具有重要影響力的曆史作品,例如《鋼鐵公爵:惠靈頓軍事傳記》《丘吉爾與帝國》等。此外,詹姆斯還受邀為《每日郵報》《泰晤士報》《文學評論》等著名媒體撰寫評論。
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE covers the history of British expansion overseas from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Narrative and analysis are interwoven with revealing eyewitness quotation to provide keen insight into the minds of those involved in conquering, settling and ruling the greatest Empire the world has seen. Throughout, there are consistant themes; the search for profit and the moral misgivings it generated; domestic developments which made imperial expansion desirable; and the sense of national and personal destiny felt by the empire-builders. Spanning four centuries and six continents, James' magnificent survey examines the imperial experience and its legacy with tremendous verve. Informed, comprehensive and perceptive, it is the essential summary of the era.

評分一种英国人对过去的幽恋 本书我读了很久,说实话没读进去多少。大量的时间和金钱的数字,让我头晕。当然,这样是学术的必要的严谨。 就像钱乘旦教授在钱序中所言“写到这里,就看出这部书的一些缺点了,其中之一,就是它为了不做学究式的说教而力图讲故事,结果有许多必须用论...
評分英文原版是有关本人大英帝国课程的必读书目之一,提供了非常详细的关于英国殖民史的一些细节。就书本身的内容而言应该是一本好书。 但是对这本中国友谊公司最新出版的中文译版,我想对其翻译内容和文法提出以下质疑(本人使用的是kindle正版,kindle版已和男朋友购买的纸质版交...
評分 評分大英帝国在世界历史上留下了浓墨重彩的印记,其强盛时期殖民地遍布全球,被称为“日不落帝国”,更是当时的世界霸主。虽然在两次世界大战后逐渐衰落,拱手让出了霸主的地位,但难掩其对世界的长远影响:英语是使用范围最为广泛的全球性语言;英国的价值观也影响着很多人的思维...
